1996 WABASH VAN Recall

Campaign:

95V249008 on 06/03/1996

Component:

Steering:linkages:knuckle:spindle:arm

Manufactured:

09/30/1995 - 12/31/1995

Affected:

8

Defect:

These axles consist of a steel tubular center section and forged steel spindles that are welded to each end of the tube. either spindle can contain a circumferential crack through a portion of its cross section.

Consequence:

This crack can reduce the effective service life of the spindle and cause the spindle to fracture during normal vehicle operation increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Correction:

Eaton will use portable ultrasonic testing equipment to inspect each suspect trailer axle. trailer axles containing defective spindles will be replaced with equivalent axles.

Notes:

System: suspension; i-beam; front spindle. vehicle description: tandem axle vans equipped with eaton axles, models est225j, est230j, or esr230j. (see eaton campaign no. 95e-039). note: owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time, should contact eaton at 1-616-342-3239. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
